RHex Hexapedal Robot

RHex is a biologically inspired hexapedal robot
invented and
first characterized at the dawn of the century as part of a large DARPA
funded consortium. A variety of RHex platforms have been developed
since that time, and our lab has been particularly active in developing
new versions for studying biologically inspired locomotion,
gait control, and
sensor based
navigation as well as for developing
novel courses and other
educational materials.
